yes,,,it is in jello also... sounds gross but if you know 1/2 the crap that was in OJ, Hotdogs, etc. You would never eat any of those things again.
They use the bone marrow and grind it super fine and somehow it is used in gelatin....that is what makes in "Gel"
Sorry to be the bearer of bad new.

Edible gelatin is the basic ingredient in gummi bears. Gelatin (used to make Jell-o and other desserts) is made from the boiled bones, skins and tendons of animals.
So yes, gummi bears are made from animal bi-products.

Gummi Bears are made with gelatin, which comes from animal hooves. Not quite bones, but close enough.

If the ingredients list gelatin or gelatine then, yes. Gelatine is made from boiling downanimal bones, usually pig.
A lot of sweet makers have recognised that people don't necessaritly want this (Polo Mints for example) and have begun to use alternative ingrediants. Always check on the pack.

Well, if there is gelatin in the gummy bears, then yes, there are animal hooves and possibly bones in them. Marshmallows, jello, and many candies contain gelatin, which makes them unsuitable for vegetarians.

Kind of.
Gummy bears contain gelatin which is made from the hydrolysis of collagen from the connective tissue of animals. I know a lot of vegetarians that eat fish. If you are one of them, you may find reassurance in the fact that fish tissue has increasingly been used recently.

Yep! Anything with gelatine in it has charred animal bones and cartiledge in it. That's what makes it chewey like it is. But there are great alternatives that use seaweed instead!

yes, indeed. Gelatine is made from the boiled bones, skins, ligaments, and tendons of slaughtered animals. Gelatine is also commonly found in yogurt, ice cream, pop tarts, and many other candies. Read ingredient labels=if it has gelatine, you are eating dead animals

BONES?? Have you ever eaten a gummy bear? Ask yourself if it felt boney. Good grief.
